This is one of my favourite savoury Korean dishes! The bulgogi can be used on rice in a Korean bento, or you can serve it with perilla leaves and lettuce for a wrapped situation (like KBBQ!) The herbaciousness and bitterness of the shiso adds such complexity and balance to the salty sweet bulgogi, I hope you love it as much as my friends and I did :)
